The AOT application must be submitted to the AOT Coordinator in the Office of Community Services. The AOT process involves a clinical review with a Psychiatrist, treating clinician, and a representative from the Mental Health Legal Service. If an individual is determined to be appropriate for AOT a petition is submitted to the court. The court has the responsibility of ordering the individual to comply with treatment that is identified in a treatment plan.
